Alpha and Omega Semiconductor a designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of power semiconductors and power ICs, announced the release of AONS66916 production utilizing the latest Alpha Shield Gate Technology Generation 2. The AONS66916 has best-in-class RDS(ON) * Qg (FOM) and more robust capability for a greater safety margin. In synchronous rectification, it is essential to optimize the reverse recovery charge and reduce the voltage overshoot. These attributes enable higher efficiency and robustness to critical high density telecom and server applications.

The AlphaSGT2 provides ~30% lower RDS(ON) compared to AlphaSGT1 and is designed to be more robust with significant avalanche energy improvement. AlphaSGT2 technology reduces both conduction and switching losses. Thus, with AlphaSGT2 technology, circuit designers can prevent paralleling devices for lower turn-on resistance, enabling higher power density in power supply applications.

The AONS66916 is immediately available in production quantities with a lead-time of 15 weeks. The unit price of 1,000 pieces is $ 1.2

This series of tutorials explains in-depth design steps for the buck
and the boost topology DC-DC switching regulators, supplemented by
dedicated sessions on PCB layout and signal edge control for EMI that
apply to all switching regulators. This tutorials series is split into
15 parts and provides details, hints and tips which are useful even to
the most veteran power supply designers. Within this series we will
issue a new tutorial every week. The tutorial series has started on
February 12, 2018. More...

The data sheet forms the essential basis for the selection of the
right resistor. This white paper uses realistic calculation examples to
clearly illustrate how a data sheet can be used to choose the
appropriate resistor and what information is important. More...

The areas historically served by
silicon devices have in recent years been taken over more often by Wide
Band Gap Devices. We are facing higher switching frequency and higher
operating temperatures. Wide Band Gap Semiconductors can accommodate
these increasing demands by permitting better performance than today’s
silicon. In this virtual conference with more than 20 on-demand
webinars leading wide band gap companies together with companies from
the test & measurement area provide deep insights into designing
with GaN and SiC.More...

Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs are
making major inroads into solar inverters. Engineers are keen to
achieve high efficiency across the entire load range. SiC MOSFETs' low
on-state resistance and low switching losses support those efforts,
especially when the focus is on achieving high efficiency at light
loads. But latest-generation SiC MOSFETs have their limitations. This
webinar zooms in for a closer look at these drawbacks and puts forward
solutions to resolve the issues at hand. More...

Within external and
internal power supplies working with 230VAC noise filtering is
mandatory to
comply with European and global EMI reduction rules. When it comes to
filtering
through chokes the magnetic material plays a major role to comply with
that.
The webinar will show you which components will help you to reduce size
and
weight while keeping the performance of filtering on the same level and
you
will learn how to choose the right magnetic filter. More...
